An peculiar property has come on the market in the form of an old toilet block. The old public convenience is on the market for £7,500, but despite its not-so-luxurious use, it is said to boast 'some of the best views in Britain'.
Set in the village of Allonby on the northwest coast of Cumbria, the beachside spot looks out onto the Solway Estuary, with views of the Scotland's Southern Uplands stretching beyond.
Although you may not think of purchasing a toilet block, property auctioneers say that the building presents a great opportunity, and the block could enjoy 'a number of potential new uses' in the future.

Spanning 33 square metres, the facility sits in a holiday hotspot which boasts three caravan and camping parks as well as numerous holiday cottages.
The property is situated on the public car park that lies adjacent to a 'long, sandy' beacH in a designated 'Area of Outstanding Beauty'.
Auctioneers at Landwood Property Auctions are selling the property on behalf of Allerdale Borough Council with a reserve price of £7,500.
Internal viewings are not possible as the property is currently boarded up, and any purchaser should factor in the need to strip the entire place out if required.
Subject to obtaining the necessary planning permission, the block could in fact be a great investment to make into whatever you like.
Landwood Property Auctions director, James Ashworth, said: “For generations, the spectacular coastline around Allonby has proved an irresistible draw for holidaymakers of all ages.
“You will have to spend a little more than a penny, but this former public convenience presents a great opportunity for the right person.
“At Landwood Property Auctions we are renowned for achieving superb sale prices for councils, with the Directors having dealt with over 400 auction sales for local authorities throughout their career.
“Our results have always been impressive, with selling prices for councils a combined 70 per cent above the reserve prices set over the last three years.
“So, don’t risk getting caught short, register your interest now.”
Bidding for the listing opens on April 27th and you can visit landwoodpropertyauctions.com for more details.
